Explanations & Calculations
- The force imposed on a charge in an electric filed is given by F=Eq. Then we can calculate the electric filed at point A by considering the given data,
E=5×10−6C0.0125N=2500NC−1=2500Vm−1
- The uniform electric field spreaded over a large area which is also the same as that between large parallel plates is given E=dV. Checking whether this applies here also we get,
E=0.4m(1000−0)V=2500Vm−1
- Results coincide. Therefore, the electric field is uniform all over the region.
a)
- Therefore, according to the equation F=Eq, the force on the charge at B is the same as that at A: the constant 0.0125N.
b)
W=F×d=0.0125N×0.3m=3.75mJ
